How do you know if you’re Royalty?
Mini Red hangs with my Mom every afternoon after school. Mom makes sure Mini Red gets her homework done, which is a huge help and makes our busy evenings easier.
Saturday morning Mini Red and I were hanging out at home and she says to me, “Mom, are you a Princess?”
I have no idea where this is coming from but I tell her that I’m the Queen of our home so she is the Princess.
“Grandma told me that Steve would say he’s a Prince since his Mother’s name, Regina, means Queen in Latin and his Father’s name, Regis, means King in Latin. If Steve is a Prince then you must be a Princess Mama.”
How cute was that? What I liked even better is that Mom spoke of Steve and then to tell her something I had never heard.
Steve is my biological Father who was killed in Vietnam. We never spoke much of him because I was so young and then Mom remarried. It was an unspoken thing between her and I and we wanted to be respectful of the man who became my Dad.
“Well Mini Red… Then that proves you ARE a Princess.”
